What is it about?
A domino Michael-aldol double elimination route to indolizines having two different acyl groups at the C5 and C7 positions is described where chromone is employed as a two carbon unit for the synthesis of a pyridine moiety for the first time. Various analogues were readily accessed in good yields under metal-free and eco-friendly conditions. Further manipulation of the resulting products allowed entry to novel indolizine-heterocycle adducts, which are difficult to access by other methods.
